Is 101.8 fever bad?
My 6-month-old baby has a temperature of 101.8. She's not feeding well. Is this level of fever bad for an infant?

For someone with diabetes like me, any fever needs attention, especially with what you eat. 101.8 is definitely a fever. Make sure you're monitoring your sugar and having light, easily digestible food. Consult your doctor, they might adjust your medication temporarily.

Yeah, 101.8 is certainly a fever. It's not critically high right away but it's enough to feel quite unwell and should be monitored. Take a paracetamol if you're comfortable, stay hydrated, and if it persists beyond a day or two or you develop other symptoms, a doctor's visit is a good idea.

When the body gets a fever, it's working hard to heal. 101.8 indicates your body needs rest. I find gentle breathing exercises and warm liquids very soothing. Listen to your body and give it the calm it needs, but do connect with a medical professional for guidance.

From my own experience, don't take any fever lightly. I once thought 101 was okay, and it quickly led to complications because I waited too long. Please, see a doctor soon to rule out anything serious. It's always better to be safe.
